Actually commercial does not automatically have the right of way.

You should be prepared for big wakes anyhow as you can be passed by an emergency vessel at any time.

I always tell them no slow pass as that is painfully to slow for me on either end. I just turn stern to and ride it out. Olny in the rare instance where I can't position to take it on the stern is it a big deal...then I just try to plan it to my advantage.

This year it seemed like nobody in South Carolina even made a call which I like...but most gave slow passes. Had to laugh at them...if they called...they wouldn't have had to slow down.
